Print-and-Fish One-Piece Crankbait
Unlike traditional 3D-printed lures that require printing two separate halves and gluing them together around internal weights, this crankbait prints entirely in one single piece.
Why you'll love it:
- Super Fast Post-Processing: Just print it, screw in your hook eyes/hooks, and you are ready to hit the water!
- Optimized Design: Engineered to print cleanly and swim with an irresistible action right off the build plate.
Recommended Print Settings:
- ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Print Slow for Water Resistance! To ensure the lure is completely waterproof, achieves maximum layer adhesion, and has top-tier durability against big fish, you must print slowly. I highly recommend limiting your maximum volumetric flow rate to 8 mm³/s in your slicer settings.
- Infill: 100%
- Walls: 3
- Material: PLA or PETG work great, Bambulab PLA Silk+ is great too (PLA Silk from other brands are brittle and don't work), unfortunatly Bambulab PLA Silk Multi color is to bittle for this bait.
- 🔧 Tight Fit & Calibration (Crucial for the Diving Lip): For the lip to fit perfectly into the body, your printer needs to be well-calibrated. I printed this on my Bambu Lab X1C. To achieve the perfect tight fit with my PETG Crear filament, I adjusted the Z-scale (height) of the diving lip to 96% in the slicer. Depending on your filament and shrinkage, you might need to slightly tweak the Z-height of the lip component yourself to get that flawless, secure snap-fit!
